Game by game
- Phoenix: won 124-83
- Sacramento: won 128-120
- Los Angeles: won 136-129
Where the points come from
The win at Los Angeles came with balance: 4 Portland players scored 21 or more, with Deni Avdija at 23, Ja Morant at 23, Jrue Holiday at 22, and Damian Lillard at 21, against a Lakers team that got 41 from Luka Doncic and 26 from Austin Reaves, 67 combined. Portland's 136 points were the most by any team in the 13 games across the last 2 nights. The margins have shrunk with each game: 41, then 8, then 7.
Not just a soft schedule
The skeptic's case is the schedule: Phoenix and Sacramento have losing records. But Los Angeles was 3-0 when Portland visited, and Portland still scored 136.
The caveat
The caveat: 3 games is 3 games, and the lead over Los Angeles is narrow. What can be said: through 3 games, no team in the NBA scores more than Portland.
